Very nice bit with Ayaka ad Asuna. :lol: Konoka really put Paru on the spot to. I never thought I live to see that day. B) Of all things I almost died of laughter at Mana in mid knock t the door(Is this a bad time?). That's a line you never think someone like her would ever say. |

All you good little Christian boys and girls, cover your ears (or maybe eyes, since you're READING) for what I am about to say. SWEET EVIL JESUS! (OK, you can listen again) Konoka is hard to draw. I like to think that I'm slowly getting better, though. Who knows? I really need to work on drawing kisses. *sigh* Oh, you might be wondering: But WitchCirce! How did Setsuna get up on the ceiling?! Well, here's what you DON'T see! You may notice that that second bit is rather poorly drawn. That's because I wasn't really trying by that point. That's why the "official" version doesn't show it. You see, I am not a "good" artist. :P Maybe I should stick to making AMVs and putting them on YouTube. Which reminds me, I need to actually start using anime besides Kannazuki no Miko for those. Anyway! That's beside the point. There's the Spiderman-style kiss art! Mwah! |

Chigusa, *bows deeply* Why thank you, that's so sweet of you. ^__^ I hope this last bit won't disappoint you. And thank you for being understanding about the whole health thing. If I could post more often than I do I most certainly would. ![]()
Baka no Jitsu, *grins* I'll keep it in mind for when my next writing urge hits, then. ;) Heh, Paru nervous, well... she just got caught having drawn erotic pictures of her female friends, even she might feel a bit nervous after something like that. XP Besides, maybe she was afraid Konoka would come after her with a spoon? :lol:
Knightwolf1785, Ahh, the OoC-ness of Mana... yes, I was afraid she would be terribly out of character (especially in this next bit), but to be honest I have no idea what her character is - besides someone who calls Setsuna by her first name (anime s1) and is always polishing her guns (OAVs and s2). So I am completely and utterly winging this. ^^;;
WitchCirce, Ooo, artsy stuff! Thank you! *steals and runs away*Hmm... the suction cups are cute. ;D Though I think I would have gone with either hanging from the ceiling from a rope (yes, still upside-down), oooor... holding on to the top part of a doorway or something. XD That is still a scene I'd love to write for Mana/Kaede sometime... Mana comes along and WHAM! there Kaede drops down right in front of her and SMACK kisses her on the lips, holding a mistletoe. :D
Shanejayell, *big grin* I'm sure she would get them, too, for such a worthy cause.
Jessie, Southrop and Icha-kun, Ryûchan wa koko da... or something like that. ^-^ And so is the next bit of the fic. --------------------------------------------------- And so this fic seems to have drawn to a close, though I'm barely awake right now and have no idea how this bit of the story came out. After this I intend to take a break from writing, spend a while reading and playing the new Sims2 game my mother gave me and do my Konosetsu there for a bit. ;D After that we'll see what inspiration might give me, but if I do go with that other love potion thing I'm thinking I will continue posting in this thread instead of starting a new one... unless that would be a bad idea? What do you think? Oh and there might be particularly OoC behaviour in this one, please have patience with me. ^^; Fever Days (end) Konoka’s demeanour had changed somewhat once Mana came in. Certainly there was a friendly smile on her lips, and she was nothing if not courteous and mindful of her guest, but... inside there was something gnawing at Konoka, something she did not like feeling but could not seem to stop on her own. The slight strain in her smile and unusual expression in her eyes was something only someone like Asuna or Setsuna might see, and for the one that was present, well, Setsuna was reeling after Haruna’s visit and was not quite her usual alert self. She found herself discreetly observing her guest as Mana had tea with them and conversed, always with that calm air that seemed almost unshakeable. It wasn’t just her looks, Konoka concluded, her taller classmate also spoke and acted far more mature than most of the others , making Konoka wonder suddenly if Mana really was the same age as the rest of them. Well, the girl was mysterious, for certain, so Konoka would not put it past her – or Konoka’s grandfather for that matter – if that was not the case. It was clear that she and Secchan had an easy interaction with one another, in fact Konoka was just a bit upset to see that Secchan relaxed considerably in Mana’s company. The current state of school security was addressed, a few skirmishes accounted for and a meeting with Konoka’s grandfather described, slightly awing Konoka as she begun to understand that keeping the school safe for the rest of them was a far more complex job than Konoka had imagined, and it was essentially only Setsuna, Mana and Evangeline that held this responsibility. For some reason there was a brief status report on certain students whereabouts and actions, though Konoka could not quite grasp why they were important enough to mention, and more surprisingly their tall guest almost broke out in poetry regarding a new rifle which she described to Setsuna at length, Konoka’s protector grinning all the while. Frankly Konoka was a little bit shocked, as she was sure she had never heard the gunslinger talk that much at any given time, in fact, she suspected she had never heard Mana speak that much during the time they had been classmates put together. She always seemed the type to say no more than was necessary, although on second thought the same could be said for Konoka’s own Secchan she supposed. Finally Konoka had to withdraw to the kitchen, although she was reluctant to leave them alone together. She told herself that she was being silly, and in the end the pull of household duties asserted their power over her and she politely excused herself. Well, puttering in the kitchen and doing dishes was all well and good, Konoka could still strain her ears so that she would hear it if anything... inappropriate were to happen. A short while later she regretted that decision as she overheard something she really hadn’t wanted to. “...no, no you’re wrong. There isn’t anything going on between...” Konoka could only discern some of the quietly spoken words. “...just good friends.” That was Secchan’s voice, but what was she saying? The words made Konoka go cold inside, unconsciously grasping at her heart. A murmured reply in Mana’s voice, then Secchan spoke again. “...I’m sorry for... everything, and... never meant for this to happen... forgive me... make it up to...” Konoka still heard only fragments of the conversation, but it was more than enough. Konoka tossed the cloth in her hands aside and rounded the corner quickly, but froze in place in the middle of the room. “...I know you had no choice, you need not worry as far as I am concerned. As far as...” Mana trailed off as she through the look on Setsuna’s face was alerted that Konoka had returned behind her. Mana had relocated to the bed, sitting in front of Setsuna and was leaned in close to the other girl, her hands on Setsuna’s shoulders. Had they been about to kiss? NO! No no no no no no no no no no! She could not fight back the tears that stung her eyes at the thought, causing both of the other girls to get to their feet in alarm. “Konoka-ojousama, is something wrong?” Mana asked quietly, an expression of concern on her features. Next to her Setsuna scrabbled to her feet with a much more horrified expression. “Kono-chan! W-what...?” When no reply was forthcoming Setsuna directed a look over her shoulder at her friend. “Mana...” Mana nodded. “I will see myself out.” Another concerned look at the motionless crying girl. “Please inform me if there is anything I can do for either Konoka-ojousama or yourself, Setsuna.” She bowed politely at Konoka and wasted no time in heading for the door. Setsuna grunted distractedly in reply, all her focus on her precious Kono-chan whom was crying. Why was Kono-chan crying? Trembling slightly she reached for the brunette hesitantly, very much wanting but not quite daring to just scoop Konoka up in her arms and crush her to her chest. “Nothing should make Kono-chan cry.” She wasn’t aware that she had spoken the last thought out loud until brown eyes locked with her own and Konoka’s, the other girl’s face breaking up into a painful image before she threw herself into Setsuna’s arms, clinging tightly. “Secchan” Konoka gasped into Setsuna’s shoulder. “Secchan, Secchan...” Not knowing quite what to do Setsuna wrapped her arms tight around Konoka, leaning the side of her face against Konoka’s head. What on earth could have happened in the short while Konoka had been out of Setsuna’s sight? “Kono-chan, please... please tell me what is wrong?” Setsuna pleaded, gently rocking the girl in her arms without being quite aware of it. A thought hit her and suddenly she felt absolutely horrible. “I-i-is it m-me? Is it... w-what I did?” Against Setsuna’s shoulder Konoka shook her head violently. “No! No, never! I...” Konoka took a deep breath and calmed herself down. “Secchan, can we... sit down and talk?” Feeling Setsuna nod rather than seeing it Konoka led them over to the couch where they sat down close enough to touch all along one side. Konoka dried the escaped tears from her face and gathered her thoughts. They sat in silence like that for some time. Finally Konoka spoke up, but when she did it was about something Setsuna had not expected. “Tatsumiya-san is really nice, isn’t she?” “Uh, yes... she is.” “You two seem... close.” Setsuna shrugged a little. “We are friends.” “Only friends?” Konoka did not look at Setsuna through this little conversation, and she found herself having to will herself not to uncharacteristically start biting her nails. Now Setsuna felt utterly confused if she hadn’t been confused enough already. “We, uh, work together too?” Konoka nodded. Only friends... there might still be hope... but... “Do you think she is pretty, Secchan?” Setsuna blinked somewhat dumbly at this point, not following at all. “Who is?” Konoka had to chuckle a little at this, feeling just slightly relieved. “Tatsumiya-san, Secchan... do you think that she is pretty?” Setsuna looked absolutely mortified. “Mana, pretty? I’ve never thought about it.” She eyed the girl next to her with rising alarm. “Why do you as... oh! Do you think she’s pretty, Kono-chan?” There was something clearly wounded and anxious in Setsuna’s expression as she asked which made Konoka smile, assured suddenly that her warrior’s eye had not been caught by her tall, dark and mysterious combat partner after all. Good! “Ah, I’m sure Tatsumiya-san is pretty enough, but she’s not my type.” She leaned into Setsuna a bit, smiling when Setsuna only mustered a weak little grunt in reply. “Would you like to know what my type is, Secchan?” Actually Konoka was just a bit surprised at herself and how flirtatious she sounded suddenly, but looking at Setsuna any remaining shreds of shyness or hesitation were thrown to the wind. Yes, Konoka might have been jumping to conclusions about Tatsumiya-san, but who knew how long it would be before some other girl came along to take her Secchan away if Konoka did not clearly state her claim on her beautiful warrior? Unfortunately thinking that and doing it was different things, and Konoka really had no clue how one went about these things. If she had but had the foresight to, maybe she could have asked Honya-chan if there was any book that might enlighten her? Like... ‘How to best woo your stoic and shy warrior-protector-childhood friend’, or ‘The top ten ways into the heart of your female samurai’. Yes, those would have been good, Konoka snickered to herself briefly. She gave Setsuna a dreamy smile that had Setsuna’s stomach doing funny things again. “Strong, skilled and protective, though gentle and sensitive... stoic but very shy... humble and unassuming, and immensely loyal...“ Setsuna seemed to shrink in on herself so Konoka reached out to gently caress some hair away from those dark eyes. “Pale skin, dark eyes and black hair...” She let her fingers slide down one pale cheek. “And of course a pair of white angel wings.” Setsuna gasped and gaped, wide-eyed and dazed, unable to collect herself enough to muster up an answer. Feeling increasingly self-conscious Konoka squirmed before that shell-shocked countenance and blushed slightly. “I had never thought about it in that sense before you kissed me, but once you did... it all became clear to me, about how I really feel.” A deep breath. “I love you Secchan, I always have and I always will, but I am also in love with you. I want you with me always, not as a friend or a bodyguard or aide, but as m-my girlfriend, my lover, my w...” A deeper blush. “A-as whatever comes from that in the future.” She amended quickly before peering into Setsuna’s eyes. “I love you.” After a long moment of absolute silence Konoka, terrified suddenly that she had said too much, couldn’t help herself. “S-Secchan? S-say something... please?” Instead Konoka found herself caught up in a tight hug, flush against her beloved Secchan whose breathing was ragged and gasping in her ear. Konoka held onto her, a bit worried about Secchan’s reaction but at least getting the idea that maybe her declaration of love was not entirely unwelcome at least. Finally there was a rasping voice tickling Konoka’s ear. “A-are you... sure?” Konoka turned her head until she could kiss a pale, and to her surprise slightly wet, cheek. “More sure than I’ve ever been about anything, Secchan. I love you.” Setsuna drew back only enough so that she could face Konoka, making Konoka’s heartbeat pick up with just the intensely loving look in dark brown eyes. “I love you too, Kono-chan, I love you so much. I always have.” This time when they kissed it was soft, careful and fleeting to begin with, lips touching only barely and tasting slightly of tears. The second kiss lingered longer, though still chaste and light, until Konoka withdrew slightly, only to return with a hot breath and a silent plea for Setsuna’s passion. The kisses grew deeper and hotter as they lay down in the couch, wrapped up in their love and one another... and this time there was no-one around that felt it to be their duty to stop them. --- As they lay cuddled closely together in Konoka’s bed the brown-haired girl giggled softly into the neck of her newly acquired girlfriend. Setsuna smiled and placed a kiss on a convenient temple. “What are you thinking about, Kono-chan?” “Oh I was just picturing grandpa’s face when I tell him about us, and how he won’t get to plan any more omiai for me.” “And that makes you giggle, Kono-chan?” Setsuna’s slightly panicked voice betrayed her nervousness at the concept of Konoka’s family finding out about them. Konoka giggled some more and patted Setsuna’s stomach comfortingly. “Don’t worry Secchan, it’ll be alright. I’ll tell daddy first and then grandpa decides to be difficult he can help me make grandpa come around. Though I think it will be ok, really.” Setsuna just shook her head slightly, she wasn’t so sure about that... but if Konoka was willing to face her family for their sake, then Setsuna would do the same, and proudly, every step of the way. For as long as Konoka wanted her to, Setsuna would remain right by her side... and she was just getting the idea that maybe she could hope that would be for a lifetime. “Ah... I just realized.” Konoka said ruefully, sending Setsuna a slightly apologetic look. “I will have to apologize to Tatsumiya-san won’t I? I jumped to the completely wrong conclusions about the two of you.” Setsuna kissed Konoka’s nose and smiled happily. “No, there’s no need... she jumped to the wrong conclusions about you and Asuna as well, thinking Asuna was out to... ahem... take you from me.” The statement was accompanied by a small blush and a widening smile on Setsuna’s part, and a soft laugh on Konoka’s. “Me and Asuna... that’s just so...” “Say...” Setsuna got up on one elbow. “Where is Asuna anyway? I thought she said she was only going to be gone for a short while?” Konoka’s smile was pure mischief. “Maybe Asuna found something... interesting... to do?” “You think so?” “Mm, but enough about that for now.” Konoka grinned and interlaced her fingers behind Setsuna’s neck, pushing gently. She wet her lips, eyes growing darker with emotion. “Come here and kiss me, Secchan.” And Setsuna was more than happy to comply. -- |

Wai! Ryûchan wa koko desu! Wonderful sweet ending - thank you! Gotta love a story that ends and ends well! :glomp: For what it's worth I think it'd be ok for you to start a new thread when you start your next fic, even if it is continuing certain plot threads. After all, they're variations on a theme rather than straight continuations. I don't think it would hurt to continue posting them here though. Whatever you think fits best, really. Have a lovely break, have fun, and get well soon! |

It shall be done! Eventually. Since you mentioned mistletoe, maybe I'll make that a Christmas present. Mwahahahaha. Anyway: Aaaah, a great ending. I must say, I LOVE your fanfics. However, now that I won't be hovering near the monitor like a crack addict, I might be able to get some writing of my own done for MY fanfic. |
