My mermaid fortune from mermaid melody pichi pichi pitch: Aqua Mermaid You are clever and popular with everyone. You can quickly become close to any boy that you like.

You are this type of girl.

You are good at socializing, popular, and you have lots of friends. You are intelligent, and good with your hands, so you should be able to display your talents in all sorts of different pursuits. However, sometimes you can be fickle. You are good at capturing the hearts of boys, so you can quickly become close friends with any boy that you like. However, you react poorly when confronted with restraints. Sometimes you regret staying "just friends" with someone for such a long time. Your love fortune for the new semester! Note: This fortune was published in March 2004, the start of the new school year in Japan.

You will be happy to be in the same class as the boy that you like. Even on school field trips and excursions, you will end up in the same group, and the degree of closeness between you both will level up. However, you are a bit lacking in femininity, and you will not be thought of as anything more than a friend. You can make yourself more appealing with homemade lunches, sweets, etc. The most charming approach.

You are quite intelligent, and you can match your conversation to any partner. You are a master of charm, and can quickly become good friends with anybody. If you help with studying, or help out with committee [i.e., student government] work, your efficiency and helpfulness should enchant anyone. Your most compatible boy.

You are most compatible with a boy born on a Saturday. Study together, and if you listen closely to what even your shy, awkward boyfriend has to say, then he will be entranced by you. However, your boyfriend will be very shy, so you should be the one to invite him on dates, and you can lead the relationship for him. Your most compatible best friend.

You can easily become best friends with a purple mermaid [a girl born on a Friday]. You are both sensitive to fashionable trends, and both good at socializing. People would expect you to become rivals, but instead, you two can combine your good senses together. If you go shopping or out socializing together, you can both have a lot of fun.

time for a short story...fiction btw

photo album

Miyuki stood on the pavement awaiting her boyfriend. She inclined her head to glance at her watch. She sighed, he was late. Not the first time, and probably not the last she thought. She gazed at the greying sky, watching darker greys drift in and cloud her mind. Soon the rain began to fall in black droplets drowning her hope. It's not like him to be this late, she thought, maybe the traffic is bad...

The car screamed to halt in front of the boy who had hurriedly crossed the road. The lights went dim through the falling rain as the driver cut the engine. The boy was hurled backwards across the rain slickened tarmac, helpless, screaming in his head, crying out inside for someone.

Cars often don't let people over the road Miyuki thought, and it's been half an hour now, I'm worried about him. She unzipped her bag and pulled out her phone. She hastily entered Kazou's number and waited anxiously as it rung.

A phone rang on the street waiting for an answer. Kazou's hand was outstretched towards it, but it was cold, limp and lifeless.

Miyuki ended the call and with tears silently rolling down her cheeks, she turned and made her way home in the drenched clothes. Her make up that had taken her that whole morning smudged away. She had wanted to look pretty, pretty for the boy she loved.

The shocking blue of the ambulance seared through the sheets of water shedded from the sky.The boy, Kazou, was carted away, taken further from the one he had wanted to see.

Kazou lay on a white bed. He appeared to be stable with the beep beep of the monitor declaring he was alive to any that wished to listen. It wasn't to stay though as the clear beep turned into a long, droning wail, mourning the loss of a life.

Miyuki shed large glistening tears over the photos of Kazou and herself. She stuck the photos down in albums methodically, so many albums were full now, yet she still filled them obsessively. There were pictures from their school, ones from a photo booth, ones taken by friends, ones with his back in the corner, just photos and her memories.

"Why?" she sobbed, "Why Kazou?He didn't deserve it!" Miyuki began to shriek hysterically and collasped crying on the floor.

She didn't return to school to complete her exams. She barely talked. Her mother was worried. She felt helpless and wanted her daughter back, she wanted Miyuki to return.

"It's been two months and all she does is make photo albums of them..." her mother explained to her friend.

"Just give her time...and be supportive. There's nothing more you can do," her friend reassured.

Miyuki opened the door to the kitchen to find her mother and her mother's friend.

"Miyuki, would you like some lunch?" Miyuki's mother asked.

She shook her head, "I'm getting picked up later. Kazou is buying me lunch."

Her mother felt a sharp stab of pain. "Miyuki, Miyuki...Kazou is....Kazou is dead."

Miyuki turned and ran screaming, "don't lie to me! Don't lie! I know he is alive! I know he is!"The door slammed behind her.

Miyuki shut herself in her room and curled up on the bed. There was a knock on the door. Miyuki did nothing. There was another knock, and a voice called out, "Miyuki?" The door edged open. Miyuki blinked and saw a shadowy outline. The outline moved towards her and her blinked again. She gasped.

"Kazou? Kazou is it you?."

"I've missed you so much Miyuki." Kazou wrapped his arms around the content Miyuki. She struggled to keep back her happy tears, the first happy feeling in months. The moment seemed to last forever fro Miyuki and she was glad of it, she never wanted it to end, never. She would never have Kazou taken away from her again.

Miyuki's mother tentatively knocked on the door to Miyuki's room before calling out, "Miyuki." There was no answer so she opened the door.When she saw the scarlet blood radiating from her daughter's body she screamed.

Miyuki sat with Kazou on the grass, content. She asked the question that had been on her mind for a long while now. "Where were you on Saturday Kazou?"

He replied with a smile, "Oh, the traffic was bad..."

japanese:

kimi no sono yokogao ga kanashii hodo kirei de nani hitotsu kotoba kakerarenakute kidzukeba namida afurete'ru kitto minna ga omotte iru yori zutto kizu tsuite'ta ne tsukarete ita ne kidzukazu ni ite gomen ne haru no kaze tsutsumarete haruka na yume egaite natsu no kumo tokirete wa kiete itta aki no sora setsunakute fuyu no umi tsumetakute muchuu ni natte iku hodo toki wa tatte ita ne takusan no dekigoto o kugurinukete kita n da soshite ima koko ni iru kimi no koto hokori ni omou itsu no hi mo hito tte kitto kotoba ni naranai you na omoide da to ka kimochi o kakae sou shite ikite iku n da ne toomawari bakari shite tsukareru toki mo aru ne da kedo saigo ni tadoritsuku basho tte soba ni iru dake de tada kokoro ga iyasarete'ku sonna sasae ni itsu ka naritai to negau yo

english:

Your face is more beautiful when you're sad. I couldn't say even one word, When I noticed, you had brimmed over with tears. That must have hurt much more than I thought. I'm tired. I'm sorry that I didn't notice. The spring wind rolls by, it draws a far off dream. The break in the summer clouds disappeared. The autumn sky is painful, the winter sea is cold The more I fall into a trance the more time passes. Many events have slipped by. And you, here, now, I'm proud of you, always. People are not memories that you can put into words. They live holding onto their feelings. Sometimes you take only the roundabout way and get tired. But the place I finally get to is just by your side, and my heart is healed. I want to be that kind of support someday.

thats about it for today i think....except that i currently like ayu(ayumi hamasaki) songs, ever since listening to HONEY from my story on the plane to japan.. x.x.x.

watashi wa anata ga kuremasen de wasuremasen= i will never forget you according to my rules of japanese lol!
