Let me say: Die.

神聖!

For February 2009. Since the last illust post was Natsuki, this month will be for Shizuru!

To follow up with that, this particular illustration goes to Blue Lone Wolf! This is up for her current Mai-Hime fanfiction titled 'Go home, Natsuki.'. Though I may be a author, but I have my limits to write a review for an on-going story. Truth be told, I can't write a good review, and I won't write one even when I'm forced or not forced too. I can't express my own feelings, personally, in words. However, at least I allow the picture to paint a thousand words. That is my review.

So Blue Lone Wolf! This is my review to you, I'm very moved by your story, but I hope you would really follow the title as you said in your latest chapter. I hope to read that Natsuki will go home to the place where she will feel belonged and receive the love she has pursed for so long. Well, that is what I picture a home to be. I look forward, in anticipation, to your next update.

I bow.

Thank you for the hard work.

'And I was the concierge' is really on a delay. I am really sorry to all, but my mind can't personally function properly with all these distractions and annoyances that are happening all around. I will try my very best to finish this long one-shot as soon as possible.

I bow once again,

本当に悪い。

'Katashiro' or simply 'Paper doll', an on-going story like 'Akeome - the longest battle' will be uploaded onto fanfiction. Details are not important at this very moment, but it is a part of the delay for 'And I was the concierge'. This impulse was something I couldn't just ignore.

Then again, I hope you can wait long for another Mai-Hime one-shot from me.

Thank you for the hard work.

Life can be tad a little unfair for everybody, or that is what Aki says to me every time I ask her the infamous question: 'How's life?'

She popped by, stayed and watched about 2 hours of Mai-Otome with me. We watched about the last few episodes and we had a conversation in between that went like this:

I crunched on a pear and she looked at the screen before her, and in annoyance, she spoke,

'I hate Tomoe!' (*I'm sorry to all Tomoe fans)

I looked at her and murmured about a phrase that went,

'I don't dislike anybody.'

'That's impossible.'

I turned my pear around and bit onto another part,

'Impossible is nothing.'

She rolled her eyes,

'There can't be anyone out there in the world that does not hate you, neither can you.'

'Oh you're right at that, there's many out there that dislikes me for no rhyme or reason.'

She poked my in the arm,

'So, you only hate someone for a reason.'

'The word 'hate' sounds vulgar,' and I said flatly, 'Yes, words are said for a reason. If you have no reason, then you're just being irresponsible.'

She looked at me with a look that spoke volumes of 'you're insane' and I forced a smile at her. Looking back at the screen and reaching out for the remote, she paused the disc,

'So you don't hate anyone?'

'I have no reasons at this very moment of life.'

She leaned into me,

'You're too nice a person.'

I took out another bite on my pear and took the remote from her,

'I take you have a reason for that too.' and she shrugged me away, grumbling.

That was how it ended.

So do you have a reason?

Then again,

Cheers!
