NOTE: Okay, by now, anyone who's been paying attention will have realized teh reason WHY James has been "hiding" in teh basement so much, and WHY he seems unable to look Angela in teh eyes most of teh time, and WHY he acts so "guilty" when it seems he doesn't have a reason to............Jessie--that HARPY!--had BLACK-MAILED Po' Not-always-teh-brightest-bulb James into helping her come up with ways to "eliminate" teh ever-irritating Andy, and APPARENTLY James feels like a MURDERER now as a result [and it hasn't even OCCURRED to him that Jessie--teh BITCH!--might ALSO be setting him up as a "fall guy" in ALL this!] AND, if you remember, I did a story at teh beginning of Jessie's arrival about their Former Boss wanting teh money he "wasted" on Team Rocket to be RETURNED--money that James doesn't HAVE......... "Oh! And teh "message" is from our Old BOSS--REMEMBER HIM!? He says, and I QUOTE, "TELL THAT IDIOT ROCKET THAT HE BETTER PAY ME BACK for ALL THAT MONEY I GAVE YOU TWO to CAPTURE POKE-MON for ME, OR I WILL PERSONALLY HAVE IT REMOVED FROM HIS STUPID HIDE!!!!", Unquote."Soooo......that's how THIS happened, one Bright Sunny Day............................... It had been a BAD morning for James--first he had been waked by VictreBell on his head, screaming like a BANSHEE, he had been YELLED at by Blond Spike for all teh NOISE she was creating, James burnt teh toast he was making for Breakfast--TWICE--in all teh general confusion he had LOST Lil' Rem's FAVORITE hair ribbon [and received a KICK in teh ankle for that when Stampers wasn't looking]--and then, WORST of All, when Angela had tried to be "comforting", James, STILL terrified by that letter he had just received from JESSIE--AND burning with guilt--had REBUFFED HER! They had had their FIRST REAL QUARREL since Angela's arrival, and James KNEW it was ALL HIS FAULT! Now he was out in teh unfenced part of teh Front Yard, raking up teh last of teh fallen leaves.......and trying DESPERATELY not to CRY.... Nonetheless, tears streamed down his face and dripped onto teh leaves at his feet as James remembered how HURT and Angry Angela had looked after their "fight"--she had shut herself into her room, and had STAYED there even after James had TRIED to apologize feebly thru' teh door-- "And I could HEAR her crying......!" thought James miserably to himself, "It would've been BEST if Angela had NEVER met me......I've ONLY disappointed HER, just like I've done to EVERYONE ELSE--I'm SUCH a FAILURE at EVERYTHING, I should NEVER have been born!" He was wiping a grimy coatsleeve over his eyes to clear them of tears--and leaving a trail of leaf "dust" across his face in teh process--so he didn't see teh two men walking towards him, two BIG, burly men in dark suits and wearing sunglasses, until they spoke to him-- "Hey, Short-stuff! Is yer' name James Rocket!?" To be Continued-- Somewhat startled, James was still able to answer timidly, "Yes, I'm James Rocket.......can I help you with something...?" He was totally unaware of how he looked at that moment, his eyes red-rimmed from crying, his face dirty and tear-streaked, and his hair mussed with a few errant leaves stuck in it--in all, more helpless and vulnerable even than teh usual..... teh first man, teh one who had spoken to James, turned to his partner with a nasty grin--"Ohh....this is gonna' be even EASIER than we THOUGHT!" James shifted uneasily as teh man then turned back to him and said--"I BELIEVE you received a "message" not so long ago, Mis-TER Rocket--about PAYING a DEBT you OWE--to yer' FORMER Employer.....!?" Now becoming frightened, James started to back away, only to find himself BLOCKED by teh other man, who had somehow gotten BEHIND him! "teh B-B-B-BOSS!?" he exclaimed, swallowing nervously, "B-b-but I SENT him ALL teh money I HAD in my SAVINGS--EVERY penny! And I EXPLAINED that I KNEW it wasn't teh FULL AMOUNT, but that it was ALL I had for NOW--I-I-I SAID I would send teh REST when I COULD!" "Wellll....." said teh man with a malicious grin, "Seems teh BOSS is TIRED of waiting, so he sent US to "collect" for him, RIGHT Roscoe!? In FACT, he said he thought that YOU were LYING to him, and that WE should find OUT teh truth...." "But-but...." James faltered, aware that teh first man was moving CLOSER slowly, in a rather menacing manner....... "So's Roscoe and me, we CHECKED yer' puny lil' bank account, and found that you DON'T have enough, JUST LIKE YOU said, AIN'T that RIGHT, Roscoe....!?" James had now backed up until he was standing just in front of "Roscoe", who suddenly reached out and grabbed po' James in a choke-hold, also pinning his arms behind him! James gave a slight *Yelp!* of surprise and pain--he was now DEATHLY AFRAID of these two men and what he feared they were gonna DO to him!!! "So we called teh Boss," continued teh first man, coming uncomfortably CLOSE, "And you know WHAT he SAID we should DO, Mis-TER Rocket!?" James managed to whisper a terrified, "N-no..." "Well, it seems that teh Boss decided that IF there truly WAS no money, he'd "settle" for teh Next BEST thing! And do you KNOW what that IS, Mis-TER James Rocket?" he asked, his face a few mere inches from James' own-- This time James could only shake his head feebly in a "No"-- "He SAID", teh man muttered in a VERY menacing manner, "that Roscoe and me should THEN take his "satisfaction" for teh debt out-a' YOU, PERSONALLY, Mis-TER Rocket--out-a' yer' HIDE, to be "Precise"--and that we should make SURE that it HURT, VERY MUCH!!!!" And with THAT remark, he PUNCHED James in teh stomach, as HARD as he COULD!!! To be Continued---

Stampers-- teh answer to teh cloudy past question: false. I had a fairly dull and uneventful childhood (unless you count being attacked by a dog when I was seven, or hit by a car when I was 13 dull).
Liz (and anyone else)-- As to Rain's changing hair color, I think it's just an artistic thing. teh manga is black and white and no mention is ever made of his hair, so I think it happens just to happen.
P-kitty-- Yes, thank you for teh scans of Rain. I may provide more of my own on certain scenes I liked (mostly from vol. 2). And yes, Kiki is indeed a cuite-pie!

I come back from teh library, obviously agitated. Amon notices this.
"What's wrong?" he asks, trying not to show his concern in front of teh students.
"Guess who I ran into in teh library?"
His features darken, "Seiryuu. I had thought he'd given up."
"Apparently not. I tried to let him down as easily as I could. I still feel he's gonna keep trying though."
"I'd like to see him try! He has some nerve, going after you like you were a free agent."
I don't bother to hide teh concern in my voice, "Wait, I don't think you shoud go and confront him. For one thing, he's not teh easiest to find, and for another, he's a war god. Not someone I'd like to piss off. I'm just gonna stand firm. But, just be on your toes."
He places a hand on my cheek, "Don't worry. I can handle myself. Even against a war god. I'm not as weak a mortal as he may think."
I smile at him.
teh plot thickens, so to speak!

Ooh, how I wish I had two hot guys fighting over me. Lucky Miaka...well you do have a very hot guy and a semi-hot god fighting over you... kinda. And as for Miaka's "luck" she's actually got four guys drooling over her, but two of 'em don't ever make it as "public" as those two... in fact only ONE ever actually admits up to it. teh three who don't have a "thing" for her are either too young or aren't quite over their last wuv.

For lack of anything better to do I was reading a book in teh living room when Integra decided to grace us with her presence. I waved in greeting to her as she came in, but didn't look up from my book. Chichiri was meditating on teh other side of teh room meditating next to teh stairs. Suzaku sighed and glared at teh two of us. Because I was reading I didn't notice teh god and teh "knight" whispering at each other. And I didn't sense anything was wrong until Ingegra had flung my book at Amiboshi and dragged me downstairs with a gaggle of Nyan Nyan and Nuriko helping. (that is NOT what that top ear ring is for ms. hellsing! ow ow ow!) At teh same time Chichiri was being "escorted" by Suzaku and teh 'Boshi twins to their room. "What teh?!" I exclamed as Nyan Nyan sealed off my room. Integra smiled myscheviously, "Payback." Before I could say any more I was attacked by teh gaggle of Nyan Nyan who then decided to change my clothes into a simple yet elegant dress and shoes. I stood there trying to figure out just WHAT teh HECK was going on... but my mind wasn't regestering anything but "danger...? dress...? DANGER!" I finally managed to figure SOMETHING out and tried to get outta my room but Nuriko decided that I should sit... so sit I did (but not by my own will, and it was more like I was put in teh chair). Nuriko then played with my hair as I swore and tried to fight her off. "Oh come on, You never do ANYTHING with this mess. Don't you wanna look 'pretty' for tonight?" Nuriko asked with a laugh. "Whats going on!? I didn't know I had anything PLANED for tonight... and I HATE dressing up... and being treated like some lifesized DOLL," I said as Nuriko finished my hair and started on make-up. "Quit talking, she'll mess it up," Integra ordered. When Nuriko decided she'd done all she could to "pretty me up" I stood there as Integra and Nuriko stared at me judging their work. "Something's not right," Integra said. Nuriko nodded and walked around me slowly and then looked me straight in teh eyes and squeeled happily. "Its teh color... Nyan Nyan, make it red for a second." teh dress suddenly turned a bright red with black accents. Integra nodded, "Thats better, I think, especially considering where she's going." "WHERE am I going?" I asked. "Upstairs," Nuriko said as he took my hand and escorted me up teh stairs. Nuriko went from "she" to "he" in record timing. As we walked up teh stairs I began ranting and swearing about being left in teh dark, and from teh sounds of it Chichiri was also very confused. Then I was pushed gently into teh living room where and into Chichiri, who had also been pushed. "Sorry," we both said as we turned to glare at whoever had pushed us. Then we turned to face each other. I was shocked. Chichiri was wearing a very nice formal black oriental suit with his hair (which he still hadn't put back to 'normal' since halloween) pulled back into a ponytail (with no anti-grav bangs), and he was wearing his mask. Rather quickly he went from confused, to in shock, then to completely overwhelmed. "You look lovely, Emi-chan," he said as soon as he could find his voice. I blushed, "and you're quite dashing yourself, Hojoun. But... Why are you wearing..." "My mask? teh glowing red one said it would be best if I wore it just for tonight," he answered. "I'd actually gotten used to going without it." "With or without it you are still you, and that won't change," I said as I wraped an arm around him. "Now now... there's plenty of time for that later. Consider this a 'reward' for proving you two can face any challange that comes your way. Nyan Nyan if you would... Have fun, children," Suzaku said as Chichiri and I were suddenly in a pink bubble and going on our "date." Integra has a sense of humor?! Who woulda thunk it?

[glow=red,2,300]WARNING!![/glow]I have a massive amount of pics coming (I scan 14), so I shall break them up to give you guys a bit of a break! Here goes (ready, P-kitty): Towards teh beginning of vol. 2 when Rain and Machika are traveling on a train together. Rain looking both sad and sweet at teh same time (I just wanna hug him). Machika is telling Rain she's going back to retreive his violin (after pirates raid teh train). Rain contemplating going after Machika. teh dialogue is in refrence to two guys on teh train that are blaming him cause it was raided (geez, cut teh poor guy a break). I just thought this one was as funny as hell! More to come! I had to repost since my other post got eaten.

Here comes more: Rain and Machika escape teh train (quite interestingly, I might add) and Rain checks to see if Machika is OK (Awwww). Machika runs off, thinking she's being a burden and slowing him down. Rain goes after her cause he's worried (like I said, a sweetie). Chapter marker. *snicker* In this one, they're traveling on teh prison ship and Machika is taken to teh kitchen (for her safety) and some of teh inmates make comments. Rain puts a stop to it, though (if you look on teh third panel on teh bottom, he's blushing). teh prison guard is telling him to forget about Machika, and she doesn't need to be caught up in everything. He just looks really hot in this pic... Still more...
