ha! thats a good one


















Inuyasha pictures now ^^ and then i'll post a yaoi!!



YAOI TIME!!!



this is an Inuyasha X Sesshomaru yaoi!!

Dear Brother of Mine by Eternal Darkness


A lone figure wandered the silent forest, his steps fast, sloppy and quite noisy. The only sound that could be heard for miles was the fast, cracking noise of fallen branches and twigs as the moon shed light on the walking figure. He cursed under his breath as his hair got caught by a branch of an evergreen tree.

"Stupid trees." With an angry growl and a fast movement of the hand, the branch fell on the ground silently, releasing the hanyou's locks.

"Sit boy, sit boy, sit boy! That's all she ever says, acts like she's superior. I don't see what they see in her." Fists at his sides, clenched and knuckles white and the moon still following him.

On he went, making even more noise, ignoring the fact that demons are quite sneaky and unpredictable. It seemed as if with each one of his steps the forest was awakening. The moon was now hiding behind thick branches that the silver haired hanyou could not see through. At least it wasn't following him anymore. And even if it did, at least he couldn't see it.

"You make so much noise, even a blind demon could kill you with ease.......dear brother of mine."

In front of him stood the tall, proud figure of the Demon Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands.

Inuyasha was in a defensive position before a human eye could blink. Growling and cursing under his breath for not picking up his brother's scent, Inuyasha grasped the Tetsusaiga.

"A little late for that isn't it? If I had wanted to kill you I would have done it before my oh-so-lovely-and-polite greeting. Now be a good dog and put that down or you might regret it" Dark as it was, Inuyasha could swear the old smirk was on the youkai's lips, mocking him, taunting him.

"Regret it? I don't think so....'brother'," He hissed and spat the last word out quite distastefully. Sesshoumaru seemed unaffected by that. There was little that could affect the Youkai Lord these days. Since the loss of the human girl, Rin, not much affected the lord. If cold is what he was before, now he was a glacier, the killing perfection.

A light chuckle filled the air, but it only lasted for fragments of a second, or so it seemed to the hanyou. Sesshoumaru took a few steps forward and rested his hand upon Inuyasha's, stopping him from drawing the sword, yet no pressure was applied.

"What do you want Sesshoumaru? Why are you here?" He received no answer, his brother's hand still on his own. The air was tense and Inuyasha's heart pumped away. The demon had but to extend his arm and rip out Inuyasha's throat or strike him with his poison claws. He did neither.

"Answer me!"

"Tell me, brother-" he let out another chuckle at that and continued. "How much do you care about those friends of yours, that wench of yours?" The moon came out of hiding and his porcelain skin was exposed little by little as the moon shone brightly above him. His satin white (A/N: I swear it is a color) hair was now a silvery-white sparkling color illuminated by the moonlight. His golden eyes shone in the darkness sending chills down Inuyasha's back.

"If you did anything to hurt them I will-.."

"I've heard that before. Honestly Inuyasha, you should be more careful. Who knows what might happen in the middle of the night when you are not there to protect them." Inuyasha grasped the Tetsusaiga tightly, but was reminded of Sesshoumaru's hand on his own as his poison claws hissed softly.

"Then why are you here? To tell me that I should protect them? To warn me? Why brother, I am impressed!" With his free hand he brushed off Sesshoumaru's hand, yet the Demon lord did nothing.

Inuyasha glared through silver bangs, but the demon shook his head and headed off in the opposite direction. The silky kimono ruffling in the wind was the last that was seen of him as he, slowly and elegantly, disappeared into the night.

"What was that all about? He didn't even scratch me, hell he didn't even-"

Inuyasha looked at the spot where Sesshoumaru had been. What did he want? Why did he come?

No answers came to him. He looked at his hand, which was still on Tetsusaiga's hilt.

"He didn't even leave a mark. Sesshoumaru is confusing. Just when I thought I had him figured out, he comes up with stunts like these."

Growling once more, he took off angrily, jumping over bushes, then it hit him.

"The others!" With a determined look on his face, he took off running and jumping as fast as he could.

A few minutes later, the silver haired hanyou was at Kaede's. He sniffed the air once and took a look around. Everything was in place. No scratching marks, broken wood or blood. Even the flowers on Kikyo's resting ground were undisturbed.

"Phew," he let out a sigh of relief and walked inside. Everything was quiet. Shippou was sleeping with Kagome and the monk was in a far away corner, sleeping next to the Demon Slayer.

"Might as well crash." He sat down, next to the window and leaned against the wall. The last of his thoughts before sleep claimed him were of a certain demon.



- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -



"Good morning, Inuyasha." A slender finger poked him in the ribs and he opened one eye lazily. Kagome stood over him, smiling.

The similarity between Kikyo and her was remarkable. In the beginning he could not stand to look her in the eye, but now it didn't affect him any more. Even after Kikyo had come back, he met their gaze with no shame, fear or any other emotion.

"What do you want now?" Her face changed instantly. Her eyes narrowed and a sharp pain spread through his leg as she kicked him in the shin.

"Inuyasha! Get up this instant. We have things to do and we have to get the jewel shards. Did you forget?" She was fuming. Her fist was shaking and Inuyasha got up lazily.

"Good. Now make yourself useful." With that she walked outside and joined the others. The sweet smell of food cooking filled the air. It smelled wonderful and considering that Inuyasha had not eaten since the day before, it smelled even better.

Rubbing his eyes, he walked outside to join the others and silence his growling stomach. They were all sitting in a circle conversing happily. He walked up to them and sat down waiting for the food. A hand was extended, holding a bowl of soup. It belonged to Sango.

"Come on Inuyasha. Eat." She smiled and started talking to the monk once more. Inuyasha stared down at the bowl and looked at Sango, questioning.

"Soup for breakfast?" he asked raising a midnight black eyebrow. Kagome's face turned dark once more and she set her bowl down.

"INUYASHA, YOU UNGRATEFUL DOG! She gives you food and all you do is complain. Stop it!"

She sat down again and smiled happily at Shippou. Inuyasha blinked once, twice, thrice.

"Women," he said as he started eating his bowl. He was done in a couple of minutes. His belly full, his stomach silent, he was now ready for the day.

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in the blue sky. The blackness swallowing the sky blue bit by bit. Alarmed, the monk known as Miroku stood up. So did the rest of them.

"Where did that come from? What is it?" He looked around, no one could be seen. The cloud was approaching at an alarming speed. Shippou hid behind Kagome's leg and watched from below.

The hanyou watched the cloud approaching, trying to pick up a scent. Any scent that could tell him what it was or who was responsible for it. The wind picked up again and Inuyasha sniffed the air. As the others grabbed their weapons, a familiar scent was picked up by Inuyasha.

"Familiar. It is familiar...." he whispered softly, the ears of his friends not able to detect it. The scent was fresh, cool, and spelled danger clearly.

"Brother, my dear brother..." he whispered as he drew the Tetsusaiga.

   konnichiwa! konbanwa!...whatever -_-;;
hello everybody ^^ i had a pretty ok day today ^^ i hung out with Sakura-chan and Heruchigu-chan today! for joy.
we took a test in pretty much every class today, aswell. that really sucked, but on friday...i have no idea whats going to happen o.o
and...yah...those pictures i put up the other day were really neat but they wouldnt show because my computer has ADD. lol, so....how about some
greek, ne?

Greek is a useful script to be able to read as it has leant a lot of its letters to science , philosophy , mathematics and art. Greeks were pioneers in all these fields and in democracy.
You can probably already read quite a bit of it ! For example what is this Greek word written first in small letters and then capital Greek ? . Hint it is a prefix for a thousand


Of course it is KILO as in kilogram . Having learnt the letter for L see if you can read the next Greek word.


The answer is KATALOGO or catalogue . Notice only the L and G are different from English letters.

Whats this drink ?

It is LEMONADA -or lemonade

And this beverage ?


Espresso coffee !

Notice that P looks like pi , R in Greek looks like P and small and capital S (called sigma) are different

What is this month ?


The omega letter after the T as above is pronounced with an aw sound as in the word lawn . There are two forms of small s in Greek . The first one you saw in the word espresso , the second one in this word o-k-t-aw-b-r-i-o-s

Here is something that flies


It is spelt aeroplano . Notice the small n in greek looks like the English small v.

The figure below has the Greek letter for the TH sound as in THink and the letter I

The word was A_TH_I-N-A ( athina , capital of Greece -Athens) .Notice capital I in Greek looks like the English H . Small Greek i looks like small English n and small Greek n looks like small English v.

The letter for F is as below in this Greek word for telephone spelt tilefono.


Notice the Capital and small forms for F (PH) , and that capital I in Greek is like the English H while small i is like n.

The small ph or f can also look like below especially when used in science as the symbol phi


Lets write a few words in English using Greek letters to learn the Greek letters for X , Z


The above had small z and x and capital Z and X in Greek .Note capital Z is same as English while captial X , and small z and x are very different.

The English letter X sound like an H in Greek and the English letter Y as an i. For example the following Greek word is pronounced h-i-m-o-s . Note the shape of the small Greek i which looks like an English u


The X in Greek also stands for KH sound as in Mr. KHan


There is another letter in Greek , not found in English and is pronouces as PS. The following word reads PS-AW-M-I (bread) . The small ps stands for the symbol psi meaning mind in Science.


That is all the Greek letters . Revise them before going to the next lesson.



and there ya go ^^ hope you had fun! ill post the next lesson tomorrow ^^ sayonara

since i was bored, here are some pictures i found about boredomness! yay!



ok, no more boredomness....how about anime?










The young man is a author and the owner of the house, where Yuki, Kyou and Touru live. He is funny and almost never gets angry, actually he always is in a good mood. He has a strange character, somehow hard to define. I can make nothing of him! He transforms into a dog and it’s him who convinced Touru to move in. Shigure was in a school with Ayame and Hatori and at least Ayame and him are an absolute chaos-duo (poor Hatori *gg*). He is obliging and actually friendly, but somehow I always have the feeling that he is planning something.




and there ye be ^^ lots and lots of pictures today, ne? lol, sayonara!

Fruits Basket Info

Fruits Basket is a sweet, very shoujo manga series about Handa Tooru wanting to fit in somewhere. Tooru's mother has died recently, leaving the energetic Tooru to defend for herself. She decides to get a part-time job and buy a tent to serve as her home. As she is walking by a house near her tent, she sees some rocks painted of the animals that represent years of the calendar. A young man who lives in the house, Shigure, talks with Tooru about the rocks and the legend of why there is no year of the cat. Since childhood Yooru has always felt bad for the cat who was left out. Souma Yuki (top pic, left) enters the room, surprising Tooru. He is a boy who goes to Tooru's school. It turns out the home belongs to the Souma family.
As it happens, it is high winds season, and poor Tooru's tent is buried in a mud slide along with the picture of her mother. She tries to dig it up, but since she is ill, Shigure and Yuki convince her to go back to their home to rest. She wakes up the next morning to find that Yuki had somehow gotten her mother's picture out of the large mound of dirt. With her tent gone and little money in her pocket, Tooru becomes a new member in the Souma household.

And that isn't the fun part. Souma Kyou (top pic, right) returns home to finish a long going battle with Yuki. When Tooru attempts to stop the boy, she accidentally hugs him instead...and *poof* Kyou turns into a cat. Tooru, in high distress, runs about until she bumps into Yuki and Shigure...who turn into a mouse and dog respectively. And thus Tooru learns the secret of the Souma family: some of the family are "possessed" by the twelve animals of the calendar, while Kyou is the cat who got left out. Whenever a member of the opposite sex touches them just right, they turn into their respective animals for short amount of time. Needless to say, this creates some interesting living conditions for Tooru.

The best part of this series the mixture of insanity and shoujo-ness. The characters all have their "interesting" aspects that really carries the series. First starting Fruits Basket, I wasn't that impressed, but this is certainly a series that gets better once the base has been laid. I have to highly suggested the anime series as well since it follows the manga rather closely and really gives the manga life.


Just Something...
Staring down the barrels of a double-edged gun
Looking into the endless void it offers a man
Gazing into mirror image of the soul it provides
Revealing the fate destiny made for you, the entire plan

Life is nothing more than just a double-edged gun
As a flower, we grow from a mere individual seed
We survive like a tiny flea and attempt to leave a mark
We stand upon the earth, the dog from which we feed

Do you dare to fly and soar above the earthen ground?
With teeth bared and jaw clenched, do you dare to try?
Do you challenge life with heart, eye, soul, and limb?
Do you dare to dance upon the bodies of those who die?

Do you dare to attempt to walk with complete immunity?
Do you dare to swim up the mainstream, against the flow?
Risking your life, you come closer to the double-edged gun
And the closer you come, the more you come to know

Life in all its complexities is just a double-edged gun
You pull the trigger and its not only you that gets hurt
From both sides a bullet exits, one good and one bad
Life is just a double-edged gun that ends with a loud blurt

i didnt write that, by the way. i just found it somewhere ^^




and...yah... ^^ i guess ill be going now...sorry i didnt really have much to say
sayonara

   konnichiwa!!
i was looking for images for stuff, and i thought i'd put up some pictures of my birth-place, Cyprus!
this is the Cyprus flag ^^


and here's a map of Cyprus



heres one of the beaches on the island. the beaches are great! there's no trash anywhere, and the water is crystal blue ^^




cyprus money/pounds



Useful Statistics
Located at the heart of the eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus has a landmass of 9,251 square kilometers (3,572 square miles). Population in 1994: 730,000.
The island is demographically diverse, with 77% of the population Greek Cypriots, 18% Turkish Cypriots, and the remainder Maronites, Armenians, Latins and others.
The largest towns are Nicosia (Lefkosia) with a population of 186,000; Limassol (Lemesos) with 143,000; Larnaka with 64,000; Paphos with 34,000.

Government
Cyprus, an independent sovereign republic, has a presidential system of democratic government. Free elections are held every five years for the election of President and Members of Parliament. Over 23 years ago, in 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus, resulting in 37% of the island coming under Turkish occupation. This event was accompanied by the displacement of 200,000 Greek Cypriots, one third of the population, and damage to monuments and antiquities that were part of the Cypriot culture. A series of U.N. General Assembly resolutions have condemned the invasion. A solution has yet to be found, despite a series of talks held since 1975.
Greek is the main language of Cyprus, but English is spoken almost everywhere.




there ya go ^^ hope y'all enjoy the pictures. if i find anymore 'useable' pictures of Cyprus, ill post them ^^
