However, in SPITE of all his conviction in teh matter, it was a rather NERVOUS Vic who approached Sesshomaru where he sat at teh Head Table at teh Reception with a glowing 'Kat by his side [teh Youkai was pretending to be BORED with it all, but he was actually mildly amused by teh "antics" going on around him--AND by 'Kat's--HIS 'Kat's--occasional "naughty" whispers in his ear.....] Vic, wanting to get it right from teh very start, made a deep and respectful bow to them both, then spoke to Sesshomaru directly, asking-- "May I have a word with you in private, Lord Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru, rather SURPRISED by this request--Vic usually AVOIDED him, rather diligently--nonetheless didn't let this show, but instead took his time deciding to grant teh requested private talk, then made teh obviously uncomfortable Vic wait even MORE as he spoke to 'Kat, letting her know that he would be back shortly [No, he didn't hafta do so, but then Sesshomaru found that life went MUCH EASIER when he remembered such little "considerations" with his 'Kat...!] When they had stepped away from most of teh Reception crowd, Sesshomaru just waited, standing tall and looking down his aristocratic nose at teh Human before him--rather an interesting feat, actually, since they were both about teh same height, noda! Vic did his best to swallow down his apprehension--he was NEVER quite SURE what to expect from this "Dog Demon", and even IF Sesshomaru no longer held a claim on Vic's life, it didn't mean he MIGHT not find some OTHER "excuse" to rid himself of Vic's existence--Now Vic felt a small twinge of pain from teh scar at his throat, a reminder of how HELPLESS he had been against Sesshomaru before......NOT teh kind of thing a man wants to remember when he wishes to ask a favor! But, this was IMPORTANT, so he plowed on, WHATEVER teh personal cost........ He bowed respectfully again, and spoke, not daring to meet Seshomaru's eyes-- "My Lord Sesshomaru--I am very grateful for what you have done for me in teh past, even saving my worthless life without being asked--and I have been ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL to you for Trusting me to care for your little companion, Rin, also. Now I would like to make a request of you, a very important one........" Vic glanced up cautiously, and only continued when he saw Sesshomaru give a tiny nod of his head, granting him permission to continue........ "Lord Sesshomaru, I would wish to ask that you grant me permission to make Rin my legal daughter, my adopted child, for teh rest of her life--My Wife, Cheza, and I have come to value Rin as a part of us, a part of teh Family we have become.........and we want her to stay with us, always..........Would you grant us---ME--this wish, Please?" There! He had said it! Now all Vic had to do was was wait for teh answer--and HOPE! Sesshomaru was so long in answering that Vic was SURE teh Youkai was DELIBERATELY making him SWEAT [teh Bastard Son-of-a-Bitch!], but he couldn't HELP but *flinch* a bit when Sesshomaru finally DID speak-- "And WHAT will you DO if I REFUSE your request, Vic-Human!?" To be Continued-- "W-what!? REFUSE!!?" Vic felt his heart sink into his shoes--this was EXACTLY what he had feared! And whether Sesshomaru was SERIOUS, or merely "testing" him, it STILL meant that Vic was gonna get teh WORST of whatever teh Youkai had up his sleeve [Well, teh one that DIDN'T have an arm in it, anyway...] Hoping to maybe shorten this "ordeal", Vic managed to forget his pride--STILL not easy for him, especially under THESE circumstances, and considering that it was teh DAMNED "FLUFFY"!--and got down on his hands and knees.......something he hadn't done since his very FIRST days in teh syndicate, when it had meant his continued survival....He tried again with teh plea-- "I BEG you, Lord Sesshomaru, PLEASE! I've come to wuv Rin as a daughter--MY daughter--and I dearly wish to continue being not just her Guardian, but.......her Father...." Because Vic had kept his head down, like a proper "supplicant", he didn't SEE teh open surprise that crossed over Sesshomaru's face! "This Human--Vic--has such FEELING for my Rin!" he thought, not sure if he CARED for that........but still rather impressed, nonetheless...! Perhaps because he DID feel uncertain in this situation--deep down, Sesshomaru LOVED Rin just as MUCH as Vic, tho' he might not be willing to admit it--or perhaps because he DID want to be assured of Vic's convictions, Sesshomaru instead HARDENED his voice and demeanor, then proclaimed: "If I were to grant you this wish, Vic-Human, WHAT will you give ME, in exchange!? Something "precious", something you VALUE!?" Vic's head snapped up, his face pale with disbelief--and FEAR! NOT fear for himself, but for what ELSE teh Youkai might demand, teh only thing that Vic DID value above himself--his Family! "What.......what would you demand of me, Lord Sesshomaru....?" he asked quietly, teh steadiness of his voice belying teh turmoil in his heart.......... To be Continued--

Ah, but no amount of practice is substitute for... being Miguel. Honestly, NOBODY touches Miguel at Tekken. It's just plain not human. You're lucky to even take a sliver of damage on him when he's half serious. And then there's teh guy on teh other quad here who plays Super Smash Bros. Melee every day, yet I played him in it after not playing it at all for many months and was still about even with him (heh). I guess not everyone's Miguel with Tekken. I dunno....my favorite past time used to be hanging out at teh arcade beating up guys on Tekken....eventually one guy even got his girlfriend to try to beat me. I'm not really sure how I rack up against other people past that though....nobody plays me any more and I only entered one tourny....I got fastsest kill but then I lost to one of my friends in teh tourny...wasn't fair! He knew my weakness!!

So no help beyond tactical info from me. teh man won't take drinks from anyone right now! *sigh* I'll just keep him on teh run around, bound to catch him off his guard eventually....like after he's spun 50-million times on teh dance floor!!!

I'm not really sure how I rack up against other people past that though....nobody plays me any more and I only entered one tourny....I got fastsest kill but then I lost to one of my friends in teh tourny...wasn't fair! He knew my weakness!! I'm famous for being good with supposedly "useless" characters in fighting games. Especially Tekken. I've had plenty of comments consisting pretty much of, "Wow, you're actually good with Nina!" "You've got to be teh best player I've ever seen with Nina, I mean, she usually sucks," and, "Damn, who know Nina had such an awesome combo? Or that other combo you used, either?" And it's pretty much teh same in every other fighting game I've played. I always pick teh character nobody else really touches for my standard. And there's this one time I remember, teh only time I ever really did a lot of person to person sueling in an actual arcade in a row. I was playing Marvel vs. Capcom. I kept fighting this same guy over and over again, always choosing Mega Man teamed with some random person (and he commented on that naturally), and kept losing (basically using teh normal casual hit with strong attacks over and over strategy). Then, I got down to my last quarter, and this guy's friends have been getting on his case for a while to get off teh game and leave. So, I say to them, "I guess I'll hafta get serious now," pick Mega Man still, teamed with Ryu, and then I thoroughly kicked his ass, nearly with perfect health, what with all my fancy air combos and block counter and hit and run tactics. So then he left. Anyway..., yeah, Miguel's best character in Tekken (3, he usually plays 3, sometimes Tag) happens to be Jin. Not that creative really, but he never loses with him, nor even comes close. And, about teh Smash Bros. Melee, which I am best at among teh Fighters, my friends know my weakness, which is that I don't actually have a specific one, teh trick is to hit hard and not make any mistakes yourself, pretty much, and wait for me to miss a beat at some point or not have something go just teh way I want (which happens often enough anyway, teh game is fast-paced enough) (I play Link, in Red). Oh, but they do know some of my more obvious strengths though (tryign to memorize my every tactic, combo, or whatever would be nigh impossible), which helps. They know at least that going after me with a hammer is a very bad idea. That's usually one of teh first mistakes someone who hasn't fought me before makes.
