Jellyfish Love – Extras   Chapter One   Miss Dita von Teese To me she has the air of an absolute elegant lady. So what I was trying to set up was Shinya's side as elegant and deadly. And…for lack of a better term, sane.   "Happy birthday, Shinya." And he moves off of the stage, dripping wet and ready to sulk Well, you try dancing for some guy and the bitch who hates you :D Yes. This fic starts in February.   Chapter Three   "Oh, Shinya, it's wonderful. How'd you manage to get such a spot?" BoA asks. Her hands clasp in front of her chest like some sort of videogame heroine. She knows it's bad but she can't help herself. She looks away from the cherry tree where Shinya had reserved a spot for them and looks up to her husband. His face is still young to her but whenever she looks at old photos, she can see how much he's grown older. Maybe a few weeks later. Cherry blossoms start blooming around late march but if they start blooming earlier than that, it's considered good look ^_^ But no good luck here, sorry. It's still kind of cold in spring. Let's just say, you can go without a coat, but you can't forget your jacket. Yeah, I don't know why there are strange formatting problems in chapter 3 either X_x I think I have to redo the entire html.   "Raining blood," She whispers, through lips that barely open. She doesn't want the blood getting in her mouth. She hates the taste, the look and the feel of the stuff. And now I shall reign in blood! \m/-_-\m/ Slayer lyric that I've been wanting to put into something for the longest time.   Chapter Four   "Shinya says we're all family. You don't believe him?" Mana, not for the first time, turns his head to the side and doesn't answer. I was supposed to write a whole thing explaining Dada and Mana's lives before Shinya but it hindered the plot so I'm just going to let you assume.   Chapter Five   "Don't be upset, pretty. I could be your mommy." I'm guilty of watching Buffy and trying to make Nene into Drusilla. I'm sorry.   Chapter Six   "And you think Mr. Ao will be able to hold off Mr. Gackt?" Kirito says before he even realizes that he's adding Misters onto names. He frowns at himself then glances to Ryutaro. I don't know how Ao ended up on Shinya's side when everyone in Angura-Kei more or less ended up on Kyo's side O_o;;; But I thought it'd be good 'cause Ryutaro's there and I really do think that Ao can hold off Gackt, don't you?   "What's up?" Gackt asks before Kirito can say anything about thinking Klaha-the-Opera-Goth drank blood not water. I love Klaha. Really, I do and if you can't laugh at the people you admire, then you're admiring the wrong people.   Kamijo glances over to Toshiya, who has finally decided to settle down and smoke a cigarette. The tall wiry man doesn't sit in the chair so much as he sprawls. His arm rests on the back of the chair while the other is left to hang off of the arm rest to dangle toward the floor. One of Toshiya's knees hooks over the opposite arm rest, bare foot nearly touching the floor while his other leg is the only limb being treated humanely. It is bent comfortably with a foot on the floor. This pose is entirely possible and don't bother trying to tell me it's not. For one, you have to be tall. It helps. ^^;   Chapter Seven   He's wearing black slacks, a black pin striped shirt and a purple vest over it. A black and purple pin striped tie follows after it and he looks great, but purple isn't his color. Who bought him that? He's not even putting a jacket over it! He's just going to wear it like that! She knows she's taking her anger out Shinya's clothes and it's irrational but she has good reason. I saw it on ebay and I thought Shinya might look nice in a manly version of it. Not too manly, but manly enough. Shinya's manly enough to wear a dress so..hell. XD;   Mana blinks. "What is human, Dada?" Because it's just not Mana unless he asks the all important question.   Chapter Eight   Family dynamics in chapter eight. There're are more family members just in case you didn't know. :O   If Kyo was overindulgent with Nene, Tatsurou was the same with Atsushi. Unlike Kyo, Tatsurou wasn't raised by his father. His mother told him that he had no father, up until the day she was killed and the person who delivered the news was Atsushi himself. Atsushi has a way of taking his children away from their mothers. Sometimes, they are given over willingly but not this time. And yes, Atsushi killed Tatsurou's mother.   Toshiya sits up and glances to the clock then grimaces at the time. It was early morning—still considered night by most people. He opens the sliding door quietly and closes it behind him. Despite the chill in the air, he walks naked to the bathroom which was near the front door. Whoever designed the apartment must've been on a crack. He puts on slippers, the only clothing on him at the moment and takes a piss. After he's done, he makes sure he isn't doing anything disgusting like dripping. He flushes the toilet and stumbles out into the cold hallway but abandons the slippers long before then. I've been in an apartment like this. I'm not completely ignorant of Japanese design. I understand why it's designed like that. Usually, the toilet is separated from the bathtub. Not so bad, I understand why. But this bathroom was FAR away from the bedrooms and *shakes head* Like if you wanna go to the bathroom, you REALLY have to wake up. But that's true of American apartments, too, huh? No master bedroom here ^^; That's the problem with apartments. Yes. And it's very hard trying to say in an articulate tone on how a man shakes his dick after pissing, okay? ^^:   Chapter Nine   And a nightingale floor makes squeaky ugly annoying noises to keep assassins from killing royalty. Something like that... O_o;; I read a book about it. Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn.   Kengo sits in the family hallway of the house with the doors open. There is a small garden here that's kept neat and as well tended as possible. On the other side, he knows Aya is there in the guest hallway, staring at the beautiful garden that happens to be on that side. Aya doesn't trust him easily. Kengo doesn't blame him. But Kengo's done something unexpected and has invited him into every single room of the house. Except Aya only stays on the guest side and ignores him. Our boy is in a traditional Japanese house…like…oh just go look at Ranma ½ okay? The thing is that there's a family side and guest side and depending on how close you are to the family, the more access you get to certain rooms and less access to the nicer rooms. It's culture. We do the same thing here but instead of having certain rooms guests can see—we let them see it all and shove our dirty laundry in a back closet in order to look good.   Chapter Ten   "Al viso di colui che me, amando, Ha presa e terra sempre, come quella Ca in disio ch'e suoi E Voluntieri (reprise) 14th century Italian song sung by Mediaeval Baebes—translation as follows: E VOLENTIERI Giovanni Boccaccio, 14th Century Italian. Extract from "The Decameron." Io mi son giovinetta e volentieri M'allegro e canto en la stagion novella Merzè d'amore e de' dolci pensieri Io ve pe'verdi prati riguardando I bianchi fiori e gialli e i vermigli Le rose in su le spine e i bianchi gigli E tutti quanti gli vo somiglando Al viso di colui che me, amando Ha presa e terrà sempre, come quella Ch'altro non ha in disio ch'e suoi piaceri Io mi son giovinetta e volentieri M'allegro e canto en la stagion novella Merzè d'amore e de' dolci pensieri ENGLISH TRANSLATION I am a young maiden, and I willingly Rejoice and sing in the new season Thanks to love and to my sweet thoughts I wander through green meadows gazing At the white and yellow and vermilion flowers At the roses above their thorns and the white lilies And all of them I liken To the face of him who, loving me Took me and forever will keep me as the one Who desires nothing but his pleasures I am a young maiden, and I willingly Rejoice and sing in the new season Thanks to love and to my sweet thought Funny thing is the song isn't sung very…rejoicingly ^^; But it was mysterious and beautiful and it fit Mana, I felt.   Chapter Twelve   Ai glances to Kyo, who has now changed position in his swing so that he's not sitting properly. He's straddling the seat now and swinging with it. The other way. Not the way she's swinging. For some reason, when I imagine Kyo doing this—I think he'd be awfully intense and handsome…   But Izam doesn't even blink at it. He only gives a strange wistful smile. "How is it that I love you so?" Another line I'd been waiting forever to use. ++ The end for now, come back later XD Jelly home
