Author's Corner
Dragonheart: I'm back for another exhausting round of spontaneous writing. Hope you enjoy the fruits of my labors.
Dust-chan: Quite being such a drama queen, DH.
Mote-kun: You're almost as bad as Ayame.
Dragonheart: No I'm not! Speaking of whom....I'm going to have him in this fic soon. But who should I give him to? He's one of my favorite Fruit's Basket character! He's special!
Mote-kun: How about Angela? Might provide some interesting scenes...
Dust-chan: That's an idea.
Dragonheart: Guys, I do want to keep this fic PG-13...It's Battles and Destruction that might have the R rating...
Mote-kun: But that's only if you manage to get really graphic on those battle scenes.
Dust-chan: Which I doubt.
Dragonheart: I dunno, I mean, I've read alot of graphic battle scenes before...I could come up with something.
Dust-chan: Don't kill yourself trying.
Mote-kun: And don't have any nightmares over it.
Dragonheart: I don't mind blood, its just the supernatural that gets to me.
Dust-chan: Right...
Mote-kun: Get on to the story already!
Dragonheart: New characters will be added this chapters, reader. If you posted a request, then yours will be either in this one or another upcoming chapter. Also, sorry if if messed up Erica, dear reviewer. I tend to enjoy making my characters have alot of spunk and life...it's really integrating my personality into them to tell the complete truth. I will try to make her calm and polite to those she doesn't know really well. I'll try to keep her as reserved as possible, but it will go very much against the grain for me.. I'm no conformist or a calm person...I'll do my best, and if it doesn't fit, review and tell me what I did wrong and I will attempt to repost. (my grammer looks terrible in these last few sentences...I see run ons...improper punctuation..yah. it's really bad. I'm also adding a few surprises to Erica's bishie list...)
Disclaimer: I own...let's see, a really battered wallet with one phone card that is nearly depleted, a few quaters, and my student id. Yup, I don't own anything else, really. So, obviously, by the process of subtraction, I do not own anything in this fic. Yup. Sad, I know.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tapping her foot exasperatedly against her chair, Erica Huang waited for her bishie to finish picking a new sword out. "For heaven's sake, Kenshin! Get on with it already!" she finally exploded after her amazing patience wore out.
Kenshin calmly turned around from viewing the sword rack and faced his trainer. "I need a good sword, one that will not break in battle."
Erica rolled her eyes. "Kenshin, every sword in here is dead on perfect! This is the best weapons dealer market in fifty miles!"
With a stubborn, petulant look on his face, Kenshin replied haughtliy, "But it must be the best there is to match my skills."
Erica gave up. Sitting in one of the uncomfortable chairs that seem to inhabit most shopping stores, she settled down for a long wait. She was glad all her other bishies were safely tucked away in their respective bishie balls. The young girl was unsure as to whether or not she could handle more any more trouble. Shuiichi Minamono, a bishie that she was extremely fond of already after only acquiring him three weeks ago, was so calm and polite at most times, yet at some point or another he must have been running wild with a Yoko. Speaking of Yoko bishies, her own Yoko was the most difficult to manage. He was her first bishie. To this day, Erica had no idea how she captured him. The silver fox had been a younger san at the time, but still had been extremely fast and a competent fighter and stealthy fighter. Perhaps it was because the fox had to be one of the most peverted of all the bishies inhabiting Yu Yu Hakushou territory. Lord knew they were ranked up there with Tokaki, Kakashi, and Miroku on the harassing level. Erica also had a Duo Maxwell. The self-proclaimed God of Death, or Shin no Kami, was trouble incarnate. No matter where he was, what he did, or who was around, that kid found something to explode, steal, or just cause general mayhem with in a matter of seconds. Erica was certain her four bishies would be the death of her someday.
Kenshin appeared at her side, luckily for her after only a twenty minute wait, holding a magnificent sword that was perfectly balanced, sharp enough to cut a silk hankerchief in mid-air, and the perfect weight and length to cause as much damage as possible. Erica was quite impressed with his excellent choice. "Kenshin, that a beautiful sword," Erica said slowly as she examined the specimen he had presented to her. Biting her lip, she asked, "How much does it cost?"
"Two thousand dollars."
Erica's eyes opened wide. Quickly calculating the money her bishie had earned for her since she captured him, she smiled. "I can get it for you, after all, you have brought in more than five times that since I found you."
"Domo arigato gozaimashita, Erica-dono," Kenshin replied humbly with a deep bow. He knew that he was lucky to have such a generous and fair trainer. Few bishie trainers would spend so much money on their bishies for anything. Money seemed to be everything to trainers, but Erica knew that her bishies greatly deserved anything they asked for, within reason. She knew that a good sword was essential to battling against the higher-up bishies. After all, Kenshin was no longer a san anymore, but a sama.
Erica was proud of her bishies. They may be few, but they were well-trained and powerful. She was also on good terms with all of them; they were her best friends that she ever had the pleasure to be with. Her love for them was as her love for her family. They were dear to her as the brothers she left in the human world.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
End Note
Please don't kill me for leaving it hanging like that. I just wanted to introduce Erica. I'm already fond of her. I think I might keep her around for a long while. She's cool. If you want to know what she looks like, check out the more recent reviews. The next chapter should pop up pretty soon. I have alot more time on my hands now as midterms are behind me. Yay! Anyways, the replies to any supportive review that I wished to reply to (in other words, all the chapter 15 reviews! ) are posted below. I wonder if Songwind ever reads this story...she still is my favorite bishie world writer. She was the person that got me hooked, if inadvertantly. Anyways, if you have reviewed, check and see if I replied to you!
Review Reply Section
Mew Karina: Thank you! Love to hear such kind words!
Just a girl... Brother character trainer... you know whom: Lol! Look! I updated! Aya may seem to be boring now, but wait till the sequel! Her star will shine then! As will a few as of yet undisclosed characters... The stars of this fic seems to be Isolde, Cherry, Ariel, and Angela as I have noticed. (Hope you like them crazy as they are...)
Dragon Ladysupreme: As always, your support is much appreciated. You rock, girl! :) Do you think this chapter was better than most of the others? I liked it the best (besides the bar scene) because it went more in depth that any of my other chapters. I think I've improved dramatically as a writer in these past few months. What do you think?
Spatial Monkey: Thanks for your generous help! It is much appreciated! Glad you like my fic. I do too. I'm sad I don't have any time to read my favorite stories or even work on my own. Very depressing. But now I'm back, sorta. I probably should update some of my other sadly neglected stories...
Yamashira Raiel de'Ryu: Wow, that's a mouthful. Your review was long. Very long. You get the award for longest profile review ever. Yah. It was nice of you to take the time to do that. I appreciate it very much. It is heartening to see someone have such a great interest in one's story. Makes a writer want to write more...was that too blatant of a hint? ???
One last thing....
Preview to Battles and Destruction: Chapter: Undisclosed at this time. Wait and find out!
"So, essentially what you're saying is, big, bad shadow things are possessing bishies and are out for blood?" Cherry asked, astonished at the news the head of the Bishounen and Bishoujo world had told her.
Aya Shinomori was no less shocked. Her eyes were wide, but they were not full of fear, as were the majority of the other trainers present. Being a fighter at heart in truth, her mind was already processing a plan of action to protect her friends, both bishie and human. Training with her bishies had helped her hone her already fabulous martial arts skills, making her an incredible fighter worthy to battle alongside many warrior bishies.
"I'm afraid, you are correct in your assessment, Ms. Cherry," ?-seikun replied gravely.
The Master Trainers now had to make a decision that would alter their lives and the Bishounen and Bishoujo world forever. They could leave to return to their homes in the human world, or they could stay and fight to protect their friends.
Fin.
That's all you get for now. That is only a small slice of one of the chapters I've already dreamed up. I can't wait to start posting my story! I've been planning it for a year already! It's well laid out, unlike most of my other stories. Yah. It's gonna be fun! It might have a R rating if I get detailed on battle scenes. It is highly unlikely though, since I feel sick at the sight of blood. I'd make a terrible nurse. Anyways, the sooner you review and get me hyped up on Bishies and Duels, the sooner I can post the first chapter of Battles and Destruction! Dramatic title, neh? Thought it up myself. I like using B & D. Just a nice combo. Ja ne!
