Senko-san: Konichiwa again, minna san!!! Thanks again for the reviews! Sorry it was a bit short, though... writer's block...ha...; Anyway! Thanks to Koryu-Sanzo, I got a picture of what this "Marie-Sue" is...thanks!!! Don't worry! Like I said before, I'm not pissed off at all! In fact, you taught me something new! Still, I hope you won't mind listening (or read in this matter...ha ha...) to my opinions, okay? (Actually, I'd like to reply to your inbox, but I haven't the time! Forgive me!) Okay, in fanfic, there are lots of people with different ideas...and perhaps you might not like "marie-sue" fanfics, but maybe others will! If you're saying that these "marie-sue"s are characters that "changes" the main characters, well, in my opinion, some people would like to imagine what it's like to be the character whom succeeded into making some changes in his life (or any of the ikkous)...that's what I think anyway...And how are you supposed to stop these writers from writing what they want? They have their own rights...I'm not saying I'm on "their side", or anyone's, I'm on my own side. (Am I on your "WANTED" list now? Laughs nervously) So, I'm sorry if you don't like my fanfic, you can always read other fanfics if you want, that's your choice. I chose to write this story because I love to write in different types of "fields" know what I mean? Maybe now it's romance (or "marie-sue", you call it ), maybe my next fanfic is yaoi, or adventure (Oh, I've started this one already...:P), humor? Angst? etc...etc... That doesn't mean I can't gain new ideas along the way, right? Hmm...I think next time I'll make an effort to send messages to your inbox...I think replies in chapters are getting too long...ha ha ha! Gome nasai!!!!!!
My Unforgettable Vacation"Yue..."
"Em? Nani?"
"I hope you can excuse me for awhile. I need to go to the bathroom." I got up.
"Sure! Okay!" she nodded.
While waiting for me, she decided to look around the living room. Suddenly, something on my desk caught her attention. She picked it up just as I came back. It was a picture of the four of us, celebrating Christmas last year. That was our last picture together, before we went on our separate ways... Hakkai gave it to me before he left. He made a copy for all of us...
"Are these people...your family?" she asked.
Family? Them? I've never considered them that way before. Though we've been together for a long time, I've never seen them as my family. We had each other to keep each other going, to annoy and irritate, to have fist-fights with, to yell at, to gamble or play mahjong...we had each other, whether we liked it, or not. Now, we are leading our own lives. I wouldn't say my life now sucks, but it has changed drastically. All of our lives have.
"No. They're just friends of mine." I replied.
"I see..." she looked back at it and smiled to herself.
I remained quiet. She finally placed it back on my desk and sighed.
"All of you...looked so happy in that picture...you're so lucky to have friends like them..." she told me.
"...Happy?" I looked at the picture.
Besides me, the others were smiling happily at the camera.
"But I wasn't smiling." I protested.
"No, you were, in here..." she placed her palm gently on my chest, right on the heart.
Strangely, I didn't slap her hand away. I knew I wanted to. I hated it when someone touches me, especially women. But, all I felt at that moment was confusion. I looked at her, trying to find the meaning of her words.
"I can see that happiness in your eyes." She continued. "Maybe you didn't realize it, but you were happy to be with them..."
"Ch! How would you know...?" I asked, trying to be sarcastic.
"Would you lie to yourself, then?" she asked back.
My thoughts went blunt. Suddenly, I realized she wasn't that childish after all. This was her other personality. She gazed back at me and smiled again.
"I think you know the answer to that..." she lifted her hand away.
Both of us were silent for a moment. Then, she turned and headed towards the door.
"I should be going..." she voiced out.
"Aah..." That was the only reply that managed to escape my mouth.
"Would you... accompany me to stroll around the beach again tomorrow?" she asked, as she tied her shoes.
"...Sure." I told her.
"After lunch, then! I'll meet you at that rock I sat this morning, okay?" she turned the doorknob.
"...Yeah. Okay."
"Then, see you tomorrow, Sanzo! Sleep tight!" she waved goodbye and left.
I heaved a heavy sigh as I locked the door. I headed for my room and slumped on my bed. I somewhat wasn't looking forward for the next day. 'Babysitting' isn't my specialty!!! But why did I agree to her invitation, I don't understand the reason. Was it because I had nothing else to do, or...nothing else to do...I cursed under my breath for being so "free". But what is done, is done...there's nothing I can do to undo it...I pulled my blanket up and switched off the lights...
Senko-san: Err...I think this chapter's kinda short too, huh? I'm sorry! I've just got a short time to spare this time!!! My assignments are pilling up! I need to keep them under control first before I continue on with the fanfic, okay? Jya ne!!! Luv y'all!!!
