[Rayen]

Beautiful writing as always, oneesan <3 I especially like SakamaeXWillow ^-^ You should create your own pairing post, and post them on the Pet Pairing Thread too!

And I added the second and last, very Christmas-y part of this ArtemisXHaylee story. Sorry, couldn't resist x3 Go check it out on the story post!

[Shiko Hayashi]

Thank you imoutokun. Your stories are very good as well. Keep up the good work!

Also, off topic but, I receantly posted a current story of mine called "The Academy" in Share Your Writing. Take a look and leave a comment or critique!

[Rayen]

N'aww, thanks! <3 I will!
And I drew a lil' sketch of Haylee chibi-fied. The t-shirt design was a total pain. As you all may know, it is (c) to CS.


Plus, I added the author's note to the end of part 2. SunriseXYuuki is next, I just need some inspiration x3 And I'm planning some butterfly wolf pairings already. ;D

[Shiko Hayashi]

That's soo cute imoutokun! Love it!

[Rayen]

Thanks! <3 I have been drawing digitally so much lately I started to fear I'd lose all traditional skills. ; 3 ; This was some sort of experiment with line intensities and pencil tones. Took me about one hour, but I loved doing it.

[Mirza]

Your Artemis/Haylee fic is just...perfect. x'D I normally don't like Artemis/OC stories, because they tend to be really cliched and boring, but this was wonderful and really cute. ^_^ I'm going to keep an eye on this thread, as you're a really good writer.

[Wesley]

Awww... ='] I love Artemis Fowl II & Yuuki! <333 Everyone's so cute. You're a great pet-personalist, too. You make good assumptions of what the little Chicken Smoothies are thinking.

Care to view and post on my pets post? viewtopic.php?f=4&t=394121 It'd make me REALLY happy!!!

[Rayen]

@Quill: Aaww, thanks! :'3 As I said in the author's note, I feel a hypochrite whenever I write this kind of fics x__x But I'm really glad you like it, though <3

@wesleydog: Nyah, thankies~ ^-^ Being a pet-personalist almost sounds like a profession x3 And sure, I will! ;3

[Rayen]

As I promised, here's the SunriseXYuuki part 1. It's... well... meh. e.e I don't particularly like it. Then again, I'm feeling way too exausted to like anything.

sunrise&Yuuki || human form || short story


Sunrise(♂) && Yuuki(♀)

Part 1 of ?
When they tell you high school is wild, do believe it. It’ll save you from learning it the hard way, like I did. Keep your head down and don’t look the seniors in the eye. They're your alphas and you're the omega, especially if you’re a thin, shy guy like me – and when your name is Sunrise. Seriously. School is worse than the jungle – you gotta fight for survival. It’s okay to cheat, as long as you’re not caught. And, most important of all, the strong kill the weak. Well, maybe not literally – except when the reject kids from those gangs start a nasty fight – but the cool guys and girls are just like vampires: they feed on your ego to boost their own, leaving you crushed. Clique vampires, just like Yuuki, the ‘ice princess’, a nickname originated by her glacial manner.
Oh yeah, and you know that thing about vampires. They’re always incredibly beautiful. Yuuki is like that, with stunning lilac eyes and her hair an unusual shade of blue – it’s not dyed, you see, it’s her natural hair color. And although it might sound really weird, it actually looks amazing. Well, Yuuki would look amazing with anything, but she just ignores me all the time. And so I decided I should teach her a lesson.

--
Yuuki frowned at her book. She couldn’t focus on it, as hard as she tried. She glared at it in vain, feeling exhausted. And she needed to have it finished for that afternoon, since it was the last day their French teacher had given them to read the three-hundred-page volume, and later on she’d have piano class, so she wouldn’t have time for the book. With a frustrated sigh, she stuffed it back into her silvery blue messenger bag – she had a thing for everything blue – and stood up, getting ready to leave, when she noticed Sunrise some feet down the corridor. He had obviously noticed her there, (Yuuki wasn’t exactly the kind of girl who could go by unnoticed, and not only for her ethereal beauty, but she had some kind of head-turning presence that attracted people like moths to a light) but he hadn’t done any attempt to start a conversation, for the first time since they had met each other. Of course, Yuuki dumped him bluntly any time the chat went on for too long, which for her standards was anything over two sentences. Yet it was strange in a way. It was so totally unlike Sunrise.

She walked past him, and in the very last minute halted, looking at him over her shoulder. “So? Aren’t you asking me out today?” she asked, with a sharp sarcastic edge to her voice. Yet it wasn’t enough to justify her stopping to talk to him – so totally unlike her, too. Blast it. Was she becoming just a common mellow-hearted girl? No, it couldn’t be.

He raised his head from the French book, looking at her with those startlingly orange eyes. “No,” he finally answered, sounding disinterested, maybe a little too tired of everything, or somewhere in-between. His voice was heavy, and for a moment Yuuki shared his exhaustion, the same weight over her, pinning her to the ground. That moment melted away right then, though, and she flipped her hair. Sunrise returned his gaze to the book. “I’ve given up,” he stated, sounding slightly regretful. Yuuki stared at him, feeling offended. Never a boy had given up trying to conquer her heart! Was she losing her charm? Sure, Sunrise wasn’t a big problem, but imagine the soccer team’s stars would tell her they had given up? Where would all the expensive gifts go? She clenched her jaw, glaring at him with her sharpest icy death stare.

“Phew, that’s good news then,” she forced a joyful tone, and turned around, storming down the hall in hasty footsteps. Given up on her, honestly.

Behind her back, Sunrise looked up again and chuckled, wildly amused. Girls, he thought, shaking his head and collecting himself to leave, are so predictable. Still, he felt as though he had missed something, and that notion was tugging at him, a reminder of his unusual melancholy. He tried in vain to shake it away. Sorry, conscience. It was fun, just to see that look in her face. He shook his head vigorously, as though to rip the mask he’d been wearing off his face, and also walked down the hall, grinning widely. Man, I have some acting talent! He cheered, in an attempt to smother the feeling of being wrong about the lesson he wanted to teach Yuuki. It was unnatural and out of character, but she deserved it, he told himself. Mission over, goal achieved.

Author's Note: Mmmkay, this was a troublesome one to write. I'm not one hundred per cent positive on whether this works or not. I'm exhausted with school, and it's just the first day. It's almost like the teachers want to kill us with work x__x Plus, today is my mom's birthday, so I wrote this in-between other tasks, and I had homework. So after this row of lame excuses, I really wanted your reviews and suggestions, so next part will be better.

[Rayen]

New chapter for the SunriseXYuuki story! ;D I'm feeling exhausted and I still have judo class, so I got to go now.

sunrise&Yuuki || human form || short story


Sunrise(♂) && Yuuki(♀)

Part 2 of ?
She should have really eaten breakfast.

And besides that, she had been up until late for no real reason, unable to fall asleep, until exhaustion swept her to some kind of unconscious sleep, haunted by shapeless dreams. Yuuki rubbed her temples, not trying any longer to focus on what the teacher was saying. Kail, the guy who sat next to her, kept chattering nonstop, and it was so totally ruining the little that was left from her brain capacity. She felt a total zombie. She figured she’d have deep dark circles around her lilac eyes, and that her ice blue hair should be a total mess. Plus, she felt sickly warm from the lack of sleep, and though she hadn’t even looked to a mirror in her way to school – a landmark for her – she guessed she should be even paler than usual. She heard the teacher say something and jerked her head to look at her, but for a moment her eyesight turned to black and she nearly panicked. It slowly faded away, though, but she raised her hand all the same.

“Teacher?” she asked, keeping her determined tone unwavering only with a good effort. “May I go to the bathroom?”
With the teacher’s consent, she got up too suddenly, and immediately felt dizzy. She blinked twice to erase the spinning feeling in her head and walked to the door apathetically. Her movements lacked the usual gracefulness; she felt as though she had forgotten how to walk, and having to put an effort into that kind of thing was annoying her immensely. She walked past a group of newbie girls, who giggled at her, and she’d have told them some if she hadn’t felt that vertigo again. She inhaled deeply and closed her eyes as she entered the bathroom, feeling suddenly glad that there weren’t any mirrors on this one. She opened the tap and splashed her face with the ice-cold water that spluttered out. Better now, but her brain still felt like mush.
She walked back to her classroom, still feeling clumsy, but at least her thoughts were clearer now. She shoot a glare at Kail that clearly read ‘don’t even try’, and he kept his mouth wisely shut for the last fifteen minutes of Maths class.

--
Yuuki staggered past the classroom’s door and into the corridor. One of her admirers, Jay, tapped her shoulder. “Hey,” he called gently. “You okay?”

Yuuki didn’t even bother looking back at him. “Well, what does it look like?” she asked through gritted teeth. Okay, maybe a little off the top. Blame my zombie-ness, she thought. “I’m fine,” she added in a softer tone, trying a smile. But as everything in her, it came out pale, almost a grimace of sadness. She bit her tongue as she walked down the corridor, leaving Jay behind. Anyone who looked at her would only see a tired girl. But she was feeling worse than a regular tired girl. Probably she was running out of sugar in her body. She wished she wouldn’t have forgotten her purse at home in the rush of leaving. Now she couldn’t buy a quick bite, and it was of no use asking any of the girls to lend her some money. Look at them, laughing at me, Yuuki spotted them at the other end of the corridor. Tasting my defeat, once in their lives. Of course they wouldn’t lend her money, and Yuuki herself was much too proud to ask them, too.

Any of the boys would have promptly bought her the snack, but the pride rule worked that way too. Plus, Yuuki was in no mood to stand their cheesy smiles and talk. She just walked down to the PhysEd changing rooms, and quickly swapped her normal clothes to her favourite designer track suit, all black with a silvery design in her left thigh, although now that she saw herself in the mirror she realized she’d be better off in her not-so-fancy blue outfit. Anything but black, which made her face look like a ghost’s, so pale and tired. Ah well. Can’t help that now. She shrugged faintly and walked down to the gym, losing herself among her classmates and tuning out for a moment.

When she refocused on what was happening around her, their teacher was already giving them instructions to form groups and grab a volley ball. She motioned forwards swiftly to pick one – maybe too swiftly, as she found out. Her head spun, aching, and she saw intermittent lights at the corner of her eyes. Funny of how they remind me of a machine shutting down… she realized slowly, her thoughts delayed from reality. She realized only too late she had lost her balance and was falling, but never felt her back hitting the floor. All faded away, and she heard only blurred exclamations before her brain decided it was time to force shut down.

--
Yelps and whisperings of surprise crossed the class as Yuuki fell. They had never seen the Ice Princess so weak. She who was always strong, determined and sarcastic was now fallen at their feet and nearly two dozens of curious heads bent over, whispering worries and suggestions. The teacher pushed through them, kneeling down and feeling Yuuki’s pulse.

“She’s just fainted,” he announced. “Everyone step back. I want one of you to take her to the infirmary, all right?”

Sunrise kept himself at bay, his hands in his pockets, almost as if forcing them to stay down and not to offer. He frowned. He had thought higher of Yuuki. Yes, he had played a low trick on her yesterday, but he had never expected her to pretend to faint in front of him and make him feel guilty and all. And, thinking of it, it was much unlike her. He shook his head, his orange eyes locked on the wooden floor. Fainted just to get his attention. He had thought he was a good actor the day before, but it was her who had been pretending all the while and he hadn't seen it. He felt helpless and somewhat heartbroken. Yuuki, always so cool and head-strong, had been some kind of reference point. Now he realized it had been a lie. He heard the teacher saying, “I asked for one student, not for a dozen!,” and after Jay carried Yuuki away Sunrise resumed the volley exercise. Yet the feeling of wrongness that had been haunting him ever since his talk with the blue-haired girl did not go away. Not for a moment.

Author's Note: Fwee, let's see how Yuuki and Sunrise work out this mess >D My, I love to torture my characters. Oh, for your information, the fainting stuff is as truthful as I could write it, since today all of it happened to me. Except fainting, but I *almost* did. And okay, I ate breakfast, but I'm just exhausted and ate very little. Ah well, never mind me. I plan doing one last chapter for this thing. Have to get the inspiration, though.
